Five years ago, we started the newsletter with the intention of bringing staff closer together. We wanted the staff to feel more involved with what was going on around the campus. We felt the need to create a publication for staff and written by staff. The newsletter started out small, using Microsoft Publisher to create our first few publications, but we have really grown over the years. We hope you continue to enjoy the eReader format. If you ever have comments or suggestions for the staff newsletter, feel free to contact [email protected]. As you may have noticed, my last name has changed from Zlotnik to Basler. I got married several months ago, but it was only recently that I officially changed my last name. It’s nice being at the beginning of the alphabet now, instead of the very last person on all the employee lists! This winter has been a cold one, and we have had some very unusual weather. We all survived “Snow Jam” 2014 parts 1 and 2, and while most of us were able to enjoy a few days off work, I would imagine that we would have rather been at work than dealt with the horrible traffic jam across Metro Atlanta. The cold weather can also be dangerous to our pets when they are left outside. Be sure to read the article called “Taking Extra Care of Your Pets in Winter” by Shelia Wood. We have several other interesting articles that you won’t want to miss. Learn more about what the Marketing department is doing for the University and how they can help you in our “Around Campus” feature. Get to know your fellow employee Zakiya Blake in our “Staff Member Spotlight.” We have included an update on the Food4LIFE program and how it is helping our students. There are some LIFE staff members who have been married for many years. Find out their secrets to a long and happy marriage in our feature called, “Looks like We Made It.” Here’s to an early spring! Have a great quarter! April Basler Staff Newsletter Editor CC-HOP Office Assistant 1
